Chapter 321 Jane’s request, set off for the [Cold Sea]!


    【Federal Grand Library】


    Due to the [Federal Calling Order], most people on [Liu Li Island] are busy dealing with the possible world-destroying flood.


    The large library, which was already deserted on weekdays, was even more deserted.


    It was also under this circumstance that Shane met the librarian Jane Vivian again.


    This elegant and wise half-elf old man was organizing the books on the bookshelf as usual.


    Seeing Xia En arrive, Jane was not surprised and said.


    "Are you leaving [Liu Li Island]?"


    This old woman had the wisdom accumulated over time, and she could see the purpose of Xia En''s visit at a glance.


    "Yes, tomorrow."


    Xia En nodded and said: "We''ve almost done everything we have to do, and it''s time to leave."


    "Moreover, tomorrow happens to be the day when the large-scale teleportation ritual begins."


    "It''s better to choose a day than to hit it. Otherwise, if you miss it, you will have to wait another week."


    Because of Jane''s previous free help and her actions of sticking to the Great Library for hundreds of years out of a promise.


    Xia En always respected Jane, so he would answer her questions in detail.


    Hearing this, Jian thought for a moment and said as if he had made a major decision.


    "In that case, I have a heartfelt request, and I hope Captain Shane can agree."


    Xia En was a little surprised: "What is the request?"


    "As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."


    Just the help brought by Jian interpreting those three sentences for Xia En was enough for him to make such a promise.


    Those words directly gave Xia En a deeper understanding of history and the past.


    More importantly, Xia En also learned the truth that the ancient dragon clan has not yet perished!


    This means that Laila and the elves still have a chance to survive.


    Although it is only a possibility, whether there is this hope or not gives people a completely different feeling.


    However, Xia En was also a little curious, what could be the request that Jane could make so solemnly?


    Wouldn''t it be a bit embarrassing if I boasted about Haikou but couldn''t finish it in the end?


    Seemingly sensing Xia En''s thoughts, Jane smiled slightly.


    "Don''t worry, it''s not a very difficult request."


    "Rather, the difficulty lies in making up my mind."


    Hearing this, Xia En became even more confused: "What on earth is going on?"


    Jane still just said lightly: "You''ll find out tomorrow."


    Shane''s mouth twitched.


    Why is it so mysterious?


    But Jane is the elder after all, and Xia En can''t directly question her, so he can only say goodbye and leave.


    After Xia En left, Jane looked up at the bookshelves around her and walked slowly through them.


    She stretched out her fingers and stroked them on the covers of books that were almost as old as herself.


    The past events gradually came to mind.


    Including the appearance of the [Federal Grand Library] when it was first established, as well as the people who have met in the library and the books that have been read.


    This half-elf woman couldn''t help but have a look of reminiscence and nostalgia on her face, and she whispered to herself.


    "It turns out that it''s been so long..."


    Woohoo…


    At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the closed library, making a strange whining sound.


    Weeping and complaining, with a bit of sadness.


    All things have animism, and this [Federal Library], which carries countless ancient books and history, has naturally given birth to its own spirituality over the long years.


    At this time, most likely because they were aware of a certain decision that Jane was about to make, the entire library also expressed feelings of reluctance and resentment.


    "Can''t you bear to leave me?"


    Jane looked up at the dome of the big library and smiled: "Actually, I can''t bear to leave you, old friend."


    "But, how can there be a banquet in the world that never ends?"


    "And don''t worry, I will come back one day."


    "While I''m away, please take good care of the child I chose."


    The gentle sound of wind sounded from all around again, as if granting Jane''s request.


    And Jane slowly walked to the door of the secret room.


    Press the button and push the door open.


    Compared with the last time I came here, the furnishings in the entire secret room have become much cleaner and tidier. Many equipments have been put away, as if they have been carefully sorted and cleaned.


    "Ms. Administrator, you, you are back!"


    At this time, a voice as thin as a mosquito rang from the side.


    This is a girl who wears glasses and dresses in an honest and rustic manner. At first glance, she seems to be the type who is easily shy and afraid of strangers.


    "Mia, do you still call me Ms. Administrator?"


    Jane smiled softly and said softly: "From tomorrow on, you will be the administrator of this library."


    The girl named Mia was still in disbelief and asked: "Management...Ms. Jane, do you really want to leave?"


    Jane nodded: "The previous commitment has bound me for too long."


    "Now that the agreement has been reached and the shackles of the past have been lifted, it''s time for me to visit other places in the Seven Seas."


    Mia was not used to facing such a soft-spoken administrator lady.


    On weekdays, even when facing her, Jane had a cold and pure attitude, with a hint of alienation.


    But when she thought that these might be the last few words Jane left before leaving, Mia felt a little bitter inexplicably.


    "But, Ms. Jane, why did you choose me as the next heir?"


    Mia asked in a low voice with a bit of inferiority complex in her tone of confusion.


    "I''m obviously very ordinary... I''m not good-looking, I''m weak, and I don''t have any connections. There should be many other more suitable candidates, right?"


    The position of administrator of the [Federal Great Library] has not changed in hundreds of years.


    But if there is a change, it will undoubtedly attract many applicants.


    Just the name [Federal Great Library] can make countless scholars flock to it.


    This is both an asset and an honor.


    Because of this, Mia is confused by Jane''s choice.


    "Actually the reason is very simple."


    Perhaps because she was about to leave, Jane showed great patience and explained softly: "Just because..."


    "You look a lot like me when I was younger, that''s all."


    "Young Admin Lady...how is that possible?"


    Mia''s first reaction was disbelief.


    Because in her impression, Jane always looked cool, calm and intellectual, as if she could solve any difficulties with ease.


    Even when facing powerful figures in the federation, Jane still refused to flatter or give in. On the contrary, the other party had to lower their stance.


    To be honest, Jane has always been Mia''s idol.


    That''s why she didn''t believe it.


    "Why don''t you believe it?"


    Jane said with a smile: "I used to be very timid. I would be shy when others stared at me. All I could think about was studying."


    "I''ve been laughed at a lot for this."


    "It''s just that things slowly change as we get older."


    "I believe that as long as I give you a chance, you can grow into a person who can stand on your own, maybe even better than me."


    After hearing these words, Mia''s eyes widened slightly: "Ms. Administrator..."


    She wiped away her tears and said seriously: "I will do my best! I will try my best to live up to your expectations!" "I will also wait until the day you come back."


    "good."


    Jane nodded: "Then...this is my agreement with you."


    "By the way, the reason why I am usually very cold towards you and other people is actually because I have lived too long and experienced too many joys and sorrows."


    "So I don''t want to establish new bonds and connections. It can be said that I am already a little afraid of separation, right?"


    "Usually, I''m really sorry."


    This can be said to be a kind of sadness for the immortal species.


    They had just established a relationship with a short-lived species, but in the blink of an eye, the other person had already left the world.


    Because he is afraid of separation, he uses a cold and hard appearance to isolate himself from others.


    But at this time, Jane also wanted to try to make some changes.


    …


    …


    other side.


    Shane arrived at the gate of the Moriarty family''s manor.


    On weekdays, it was Daisy and her brother who took the initiative to discuss business matters with him.


    It was also the first time for Shane to visit Moriarty''s manor like this.


    It has to be said that although the Moriarty family has declined a bit due to the disappearance of the ancestor, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.


    The vastness of this manor can be said to be unprecedented in Xia En''s life.


    Inside the black hollow iron gate is a tall and neat white building and a wide and beautiful courtyard.


    The reliefs and murals on the walls are full of history, and there seems to be a large field in the distance.


    Being able to own such a manor on [Liu Li Island] where every inch of land is extremely valuable shows how wealthy the Moriarty family is.


    It was only after seeing this manor that Xia En had the real feeling that "it turns out that Daisy and Alessio are truly children of a big family."


    After all, in these days of getting along.


    The two people''s attitude toward Xia En has completely changed from being curious and somewhat disdainful, to communicating on an equal footing, to being extremely admiring and vaguely worshiping.


    Therefore, he almost forgot that the two siblings were children of a large family.


    Xia En was about to explain his purpose to the waiter guarding the door, when he heard the waiter take the initiative to speak.


    "Is this Mr. Shane? Please come in."


    "Miss Daisy has already given instructions that you will be treated as a distinguished guest of the Moriarty family and you can enter and leave the manor at will."


    "Oh well."


    Shane still appreciates Daisy''s thoughtfulness in details.


    It''s just that her behavior in some aspects was a little too frivolous, which made Xia En a little uncomfortable.


    "Miss Daisy is in the manor. I''m going to report to her. Sir, please wait in the waiting room for a while."


    Not long after, the waiter brought Xia En through the door and led him to a waiting room.


    What surprised Xia En.


    Along the way, the maids in the manor seemed to recognize his identity and whispered in low voices.


    "Is that Captain Shane of [Black Swan]?"


    "It really looks as good as the rumors say!"


    "It is said that even the administrator of the [Federal Library] treats him differently!"


    In fact, without Xia En even realizing it, he already had quite a reputation on [Liu Li Island].


    On the one hand, the story of fighting out of the vampire encirclement and piercing three warships gradually unfolded.


    Coupled with the special treatment given by the librarian Jane, Shane has been cast into a mysterious veil.


    On the other hand, even if there are Daisy siblings in front of the stage acting as "smoke bombs."


    But with so many novel materials flowing into the market, and the two men''s wanton acquisition of shipbuilding materials, it is inevitable that some people will pay attention.


    Especially in Moriarty Manor, the servants also have their own guesses about this matter.


    Among them, Xia En, who has been in close contact with Miss Daisy recently, may be related to this series of events.


    It''s no wonder they are curious about Xia En.


    Not long after.


    Daisy rushed to Xia En in a hurry.


    With her signature charming smile on her face, she said: "Captain Shane, why are you free to visit our manor today?"


    Xia En said directly: "Actually... I will leave [Liu Li Island] soon and go to [Leng Lie Sea]."


    "…ah?"


    Daisy was stunned for a moment and said: "It''s so fast..."


    Her surprised and sad expression suddenly changed, and she chuckled: "...Haha, do you think I would say that?"


    "You want to catch up with the teleportation circle tomorrow, right?"


    "To be honest, my [Qingfeng] and I are also going to the [Cold Sea]!"


    "Um?"


    After hearing the news, Xia En looked surprised.


    "Is it just you, or is your brother going too?"


    Daisy said frankly: "Let''s go together."


    "hiss…"


    Shane was shocked by the Moriarty family''s decision.


    As far as he knew, there were only two direct young people of Moriarty''s generation, Daisy and her brother.


    It''s understandable to send one person, but if two people go, wouldn''t the situation be very serious if something unexpected happens?


    "The Moriarty family has never been afraid of sacrifice."


    Daisy said in a serious tone: "This is the ancestral motto of our family."


    "Don''t look at me like this, I still have the blood of Moriarty."


    "Besides, my parents are still young. Even if we have an accident, they can have a few more children."


    "As for my cousins, their desire for power is not that strong."


    Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little emotional.


    After the [Federal Chief] disappeared, the Moriarty family still did not decline completely, but maintained a certain vitality. Sure enough, it was not without reason.


    Daisy continued: "What''s more, Captain Shane is here too!"


    "If you are here, you will definitely bring us back safely, right?"


    Shane could only say: "I will try my best."


    His original intention was to say goodbye to Daisy and his brother and to handle the last few trading transactions.


    But now that we are leaving together, there is no need to say anything more.


    …


    …


    The next morning.


    The port of [Liuli Island].


    Shane waited for Jane''s visit on the Black Swan.


    The old woman was carrying a suitcase, wearing a black gauze skirt and a top hat, and said gently.


    "My request is... I want to stay on your ship for a while, and at the same time go to the [Cold Sea] to see the scenery of the Far North."


    "Captain Shane, are you willing to temporarily accept me as a crew member?"
